I can't see any evidence that Csb climates are fundamentally different to Cfb climates during winter.

I'm comparing within Europe, not New Zealand, there's a sharp contrast between sunnier, more variable precipitation Mediterranean climates and the oceanic ones even at the same latitude. I'm not using exact Koppen definition, I'm considering those Csb oceanic due to wet winters and different air mass patterns. As for high pressure, how are you defining it? As I pointed out, you can't go by overhead pressure.
If you're going by exact Koppen definition, no. But typically, airmass flow is different in the wintertime.
